Action brought on 23 July 2014 — CW v Council
(Case T-224/14)
2014/C 351/11
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: CW (Paris, France) (represented by: A. Tekari, lawyer)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul Council Implementing Decision 2014/49/CFSP of 30 January 2014 applying Decision 2011/72/CFSP concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Tunisia in so far as it concerns the applicant;










—


order that as a result of the annulment of the contested decision, the applicant shall be deemed never to have been entered in the list of persons covered by the asset freeze and that no measure or decision of the Council may mention his name as being subject to an asset freeze;










—


order the Council of the European Union to pay damages in the amount of EUR 1 00  000 as compensation for the non-pecuniary and material harm suffered by the applicant;










—


order the Council of the European Union to bear, in addition to its own costs, those incurred by the applicant which must be equitably determined by having regard to the parties’ circumstances and to the workload resulting from the management of such a case.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging an absence of legal basis for Decision 2014/49/CFSP (1), inasmuch as it is based on a consideration extraneous to that set out in Article 1 of Decision 2011/72/CFSP (2) and inasmuch as, in any event, Decision 2011/72/CFSP, which constitutes the legal basis for the former decision, is not consistent with EU law governing targeted sanctions.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging infringement of the right to property, in so far as the restrictive measures imposed on the applicant amount to an unjustified restriction of his right to property.






(1)  Council Decision 2014/49/CFSP of 30 January 2014 amending Decision 2011/72/CFSP concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Tunisia (OJ 2014 L 28, p. 38).

            COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 827/2014
of 23 July 2014
         
amending Regulation (EC) No 974/98 as regards the introduction of the euro in Lithuania


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 140(3) thereof,


Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,


Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank,

Whereas:







(1)


Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 (1) provides for the substitution of the euro for the currencies of the Member States which fulfilled the necessary conditions for the adoption of the euro at the time when the Community entered the third stage of economic and monetary union.












(2)


In accordance with Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession, Lithuania is a Member State with a derogation as defined in Article 139(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (the ‘Treaty’).












(3)


Pursuant to Council Decision 2014/509/EU of 23 July 2014 on the adoption by Lithuania of the euro on 1 January 2015 (2), Lithuania fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the euro and the derogation in favour of Lithuania is to be abrogated with effect from 1 January 2015.












(4)


The introduction of the euro in Lithuania requires the extension to Lithuania of the existing provisions on the introduction of the euro set out in Regulation (EC) No 974/98.












(5)


Lithuania's National Euro Changeover Plan specifies that euro banknotes and coins should become legal tender in Lithuania on the day of the introduction of the euro as its currency. Consequently, the euro adoption date and the cash changeover date should be 1 January 2015. No ‘phasing-out’ period should apply.












(6)


Regulation (EC) No 974/98 should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 974/98 is amended by inserting the following row in the table between the entries for Latvia and Luxembourg:








‘Lithuania


1 January 2015


1 January 2015


No’






Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2015.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
